Jeffrey and Darren
Should I email Josh and ask for lighting strike data? Or phone call?
What should I say to josh?
Thx tarry
You make mention of "No material damage History the repair of which would constitute a Major repair",
During my visit to Oakland to view the aircraft, I arrived at 1pm in SFO and drive to OAK,. I had brief time to
inspect the plane before Chevron closed the hanger doors at 4:30pm,. I was presented a mountain of log books
to view,. During my viewing, which was brief, I didn't see a log book entry for Lighting or bird strike,.whether
it was there, i couldn't say,. It took Westfield 5 days to review log book during ACRS PreBuy inspection.
4. Key aspects of the purchase agreement terms that are already listed in the LOI are the Delivery Condition
(Paragraph 5B), which generally appears to be satisfactory, so long as we don't mind that airworthiness
requirements are limited to airworthiness for operations under FAR Part 91, the corrosion condition is "no
material corrosion beyond manufacturer's allowable limits", and the damage condition is "no material damage
history, the repair of which could constitute a "major repair" as such termini defined in 17 CFR Part 43,
Appendix A". So if we want to make sure we are comfortable with damage and corrosion we should inspect
records during the initial inspection to determine what if any damage and corrosion there has been before we
sign a purchase agreement.

Overall, if you are really interested in the aircraft at a $ l6MM price and don't mind the fact that you will not
be able to lock it up until you actually sign a definitive agreement, then the terms proposed in the LOI do not
seem particularly unreasonable. Specific comments are provided below:
I. On the one hand, The LOI is completely non-binding and a sale has not been authorized - See
Paragraph 6C. The LOI can be terminated at any time by either party by giving notice to the other - See
Paragraph 4.
EFTA01051626
2. On the other hand, it requires a deposit of $1MM within 2 business days of Seller's acceptance (albeit a
refundable one - until the purchase agreement is signed) - See paragraph 1A. It requires a visual inspection
of he aircraft and a records inspection in Oakland, CA within 3 business days after acceptance, and an
affirmative election to proceed with the transaction within 1 business day following the initial inspections -
See Paragraph 2.
3. While a binding deal requires the parties execute a definitive purchase agreement, many of the terms of
that agreement are set forth in paragraph 5, making a negotiation outside of those terms less likely to result in
a deal. Seller will provide the initial draft within 5 business days after acceptance and the parties have 15
business days to execute a purchase agreement or the LOI will terminate, if it does not terminate earlier at the
election of either party - See paragraph 4.
4. Key aspects of the purchase agreement terms that are already listed in the LOI are the Delivery
Condition (Paragraph 5B), which generally appears to be satisfactory, so long as we don't mind that
airworthiness requirements are limited to airworthiness for operations under FAR Part 91, the corrosion
condition is "no material corrosion beyond manufacturer's allowable limits", and the damage condition is
"no material damage history, the repair of which could constitute a "major repair" as such termini defined in
17 CFR Part 43, Appendix A". So if we want to make sure we are comfortable with damage and corrosion
we should inspect records during the initial inspection to determine what if any damage and corrosion there
has been before we sign a purchase agreement. The test flight limitations in paragraph 5E include Chevron
pilots run the test and Purchaser's and Gulfstream reps can request specific flight test items only so long as
the items are agreed in the purchase agreement so we would need to make sure we have agreement as to what
will be included in the flight test before we sign the purchase agreement. Also, the flight test will not include
stalls, power plant shut downs, APU operation outside of normal limitations and unusual altitudes, so to the
extent any of those types of tests are normally something Larry and his team require for a flight test, then
they need to address this now before we sign the LOI.
5. Test flight and pre-purchase inspection must commence 2 business days after execution of the purchase
agreement if possible. Rejection or acceptance with our without requiring discrepancy corrections must
occur within 2 business days after inspection and presentation of the formal inspection report - See 5F.
6. Discrepancies to be corrected are only the items which cause the aircraft not to comply with the
Delivery Conditions and will not include cosmetic discrepancies. Seller has to "promptly" cause the
correction of legitimate discrepancies noted during the inspection. See Paragraph 5F
7. Interestingly, Paragraph 5F provides that if Purchaser rejects the aircraft for permissible reasons, i.e.,
failure upon inspection of the aircraft to conform to the Delivery Conditions, then Escrow Agent returns the
deposit and Seller has to reimburse Purchaser for all reasonable inspection and/or movement expenses
already incurred. Paragraph 4F makes no reference to what happens if Purchaser accepts subject to
correction of legitimate discrepancies and Seller fails or refuses to correct. Though I assume that Seller's
counsel would have no objection to including a failure by Seller to correct and/or deliver after acceptance as
requiring an Escrow refund and a reimbursement by Seller as well. If I had my choice, I would prefer that
correction be made in the LOI and not wait until the Purchase Agreement. That is probably the only
correction I would make at this point if you are ok with proceeding.
8. All costs and expenses associated with the movement of the aircraft for test lights and to the closing
location are to be borne by Purchaser - Paragraph 5G - but as stated above under paragraph 5F are
reimbursed if the aircraft is rejected. I am sure we can make it clear that this also means if the Seller fails to
deliver a corrected aircraft after acceptance, then reasonable inspection and movement costs and expenses
must be reimbursed and the escrow returned..
9. One of the conditions to Seller's obligation to close is Seller's receipt and approval of financial
information regarding Purchaser, and the solvency of Purchaser - See paragraph 5H. This, combined with
EFTA01051627
the fact that in paragraph 6C there is an acknowledgement that the parties do not yet have the authority to
enter into the Potential Transaction makes me wonder whether Chevron's people must still clear with the
board whether or not to sell to you.
10. There are confidentiality provisions, a selection of California law and a fairly lengthy arbitration clause
providing for AAA Arbitration of disputes in California - Paragraph 6A and 6F..
11. Paragraph 6G provides that each party will bear its own expenses in connection with the LOI and the
Transaction, which is inconsistent with the provisions dealing with movement expenses, flight test expenses
and pit-purchase inspection expenses and/or a reimbursement by Seller of the same to Purchaser. But that is
just a linguistic anomaly and which we could correct in the purchase agreement.
Please advise how you wish to proceed.

Subject: Gulfstream G550 SIN 5173 LOI
Larry,
EFTA01051628
Attached, please find a revised LOI for the sale of Gulfstream G550 5/N 5173. This reflects the terms under which
Chevron is prepared to move forward with this sale at $16,000,000 which are aligned with our prior discussions. If
your principal is ready to proceed, please return an executed copy and Chevron is prepared to countersign this and
move forward. Let me know if there are any questions and keep me updated about your plans to see the Aircraft
in Oakland. I have also attached wire transfer instructions for Kirk Woford, President at Insured Aircraft Title
Service for the deposit. Thank you. Josh
